I've had a go at making kerf lining with my version of a jig that was in a video that @swepri posted a few days ago. My first attempt kerf lining isn't as bendy as I'd hoped it would be. The convenien...

Thanks @swepri. Satisfying experience - although soldering is a constant headache. Trying to do a Caballo Tono Ligero thinline with this one.

@cafebrouge hey, nice guitars! Similarly, I can't help with advice on specific groups, but you will find a lot of helpful knowledge in the members of this forum. It might be worth floating your questi...

@liebe really impressive, Dan! Thanks for reaching out. Love that pickguard - was that your design? I like the Tono Caballo ones so might stick with for the Caballo Tono Ligero HH thinline I'm going ...

@cafebrouge cheers! It's a partscaster I put together before I got into building from scratch. I bought the finished body and scratch plate from the same chap. Have fun with your build!

@cafebrouge What problems are you having with soldering? - maybe we can help make it FUN! top tip: Keep your tip clean and shiny and tip top. top tip 2: Use quality '60/40 solder' not the usual modern...

@markbailey lol it is shit isn't it! Lead free for a problematic life! @cafebrouge if you're on FB there's some not bad groups, UK Amateur Guitar Builder and Luthiers Club are a couple. For the...

@boo Use a forstner bit to bury the heads in the bench. But yeh, that things a bit of a beast lol

The X braces are glued on now, one at a time, I won't carve them yet, wait until I'm ready for assembly. The repaired split in the soundboard isn't quite invisible but it isn't obvious either, so I'll...

@peter-c-f I've got the last transverse brace glued across the break now and its looking okay. I'll get the X braces on tomorrow, that'll put some strength into it and I'll can breath again.

Aah, so THAT was that odd noice this morn' (thought it was a helicopter flying over). Hide glue should help give a strong bond and still have some flexibility for the vibrations of the board to work...

I've been gluing on grafts and braces and all been going well. I got to the point where I didn't have enough long braces so made another one. And then this morning, disaster, some you in Scotland migh...

@rocknroller912 Glad to see you are doing an acoustic Robin, it’s looking good so far. Its been a long term project but I've managed to spend some time on it lately. Its a whole different game fro...

Glad to see you are doing an acoustic Robin, it’s looking good so far.

Routed the groove for the rossette, lovely clean crisp edges and 2mm deep. Dry fitted the mahogany and maple inlays, all fitted nicely. Then the messy business of gluing it in, making sure all the fac...

Very neat practice run @robin. 🙂🎶🙏🎸

I had a practice shot at a the rosette today, turned out not too bad. I bought a circle cutting guide for my dremel, it works quite well but the depth and radius adjustment is quite basic and needs a ...
